Sending mail when plugged and unplugged

Sending mail when plugged and unplugged

[Pavel Janík ml.]

Hi,

some time ago I reported the problem with posting-styles and Gnus
agent. Here it is again. My posting-styles looks like:

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '((".*"
         (signature-file "~/.Emacs/Signatures/Signature-SuSE-Linux")
         (name "Pavel Janík ml.")
         (address "Pavel.Janik@suse.cz"))
        ("^Incoming"
         (signature-file "~/.Emacs/Signatures/Signature")
         (organization nil)
         (address "Pavel@Janik.cz"))
        ...

My user-mail address is customized to

 '(user-mail-address "Pavel.Janik@suse.cz")

Now I'm going to unplugged and send some simple mail from Incoming group to
my account on my own machine. Then, it is simply send with J J and J S. So
it should use my private posting-style, ie. Pavel@Janik.cz. It is saved
with this header (unnecessary things removed):

>From Pavel.Janik@suse.cz  Wed Jan 17 22:57:04 2001
Return-Path: <Pavel.Janik@suse.cz>
Delivered-To: pavel@snowwhite.suse.cz
From: Pavel@Janik.cz (Pavel =?iso-8859-2?q?Jan=EDk?= ml.)
Sender: Pavel.Janik@suse.cz

So only "From:" header is set to correct Pavel@Janik.cz. "From " header
contains another address, Return-path is bad and finally, there is Sender:
even if I have (sender . disabled) in message-syntax-checks.

When I'm plugged and send the same mail from the same group, it is stored
to my private mailbox as:

>From Pavel@Janik.cz  Wed Jan 17 22:57:36 2001
Return-Path: <Pavel@Janik.cz>
From: Pavel@Janik.cz (Pavel =?iso-8859-2?q?Jan=EDk?= ml.)

So it is correct and does not reference user-mail-address nor other
posting-style values.

What I expected was that even when unplugged, it will be sent with the
correct headers. What do you think about it? Is it so special?

Is "Incoming" really the right group name?  Isn't it "nnml:Incoming"
or something like this?

no, I use nnfolder and the group Incoming is displayed as 0: Incoming in
the Group buffer.

It can be displayed like that even if it's real name is nnfolder:Incoming
if gnus-group-line-format uses %G rather than %g to display the group
name.  If that is the case, you still need to use the nnfolder
specifier (possibly nnfolder+mail: or whatever you set it up as).

Is that the case for you? If nnfolder is your "primary" select method,
then this doesn't really apply.
